Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe various filmmakers were asked to adhere to three guidelines: They had only twenty-four hours to shoot, a week to edit, and needed to give the sense of a particular neighborhood.
- GoofsThe photo of Molly that Ben shoves into the mailbox is wallet-size (it was in the stolen wallet), maybe 3" long, judging by the size of his hand holding it. However, when he passes the mailbox later, the photo that pops out is at least an 8 x10" (judging by the size of a standard USPS mailbox) when the frame is frozen. Then, when he picks it up, it is almost 6" long, as big as his entire hand, and more suitable to a frame on a desk. The same photo is three different sizes. Is the mailbox magical?
- Quotes
Camille: Hey, David, it's Camille. You know, when Dostoevsky was writing The Gambler, he signed a contract with his publisher saying that he would finish it in twenty-six days, and he did it, but he had the help of this young stenographer. This girl, she... she stayed with him and she helped him. And... afterwards they actually got married. Ha, isn't that cool? That's how he met his wife. Anyway I found this story in the preface for Crime and Punishment so I was thinking that... and, this would have to be between you and me, but... I was thinking that I could read the books and tell you what's going on and that way you could just focus on your music. But only if you're comfortable with this, and if you're not then you can just forget it, and you can quit, but if you are... then open this door.
David: Open... this door?
[crawls to his front door and opens it]
Camille: Okay, a deal's a deal.
David: Does this mean we're getting married?
Camille: I have a lot of reading to do...
Camille: Hi, I'm Camille.
David: Hi, I'm David.
- Crazy creditsThe last segment segues into scenes from the film, viewed as if projected on parts of buildings. After, the end credits begin, accompanied by stills, both of the characters and behind the scenes.
- Alternate versionsWhen the title was shown at Toronto Film Festival it included two additional segments These Vagabond Shoes (2009) and Apocrypha (2009), these were removed for the wide release but are included in the DVD extras.

"New York, I Love You" is a collection of short films directed by twelve people, fused together without introduction or gaps. As a result, stories jump from one place to another incoherently. Some shorts are interesting and entertaining, like the one about a thief in the café. Some shorts are technically well made, like the one in the bright hotel room (but the contents of which is incomprehensible). Some of the shorts are quite boring and even pointless, such as the one involving the works of the Russian literary giant.
I say "New York, I Love You" is misleadingly titled because most shorts are not about love, the only one that is really about love is the one with the elderly couple. Most other shorts are about brief flirtatious encounters or carnal attraction. In addition, all the shorts are not location specific. They could have been set in any city in the world without affecting the storyline. I do not see any scene that strikes me as "This is so New York" or "This can only happen in New York".
In summary, "New York, I Love You" lacks coherence and engaging themes. Despite the great ensemble cast, the result is disappointing.
